But.. nothing happens to any of the animals except the baddie?Me too. Jungle Book - cartoon version - had me bawling my eyes outmuch to my husband's, choked with laughter, amusement.

I can’t cope with Bambi. Breaks my heart. And Lion King.. although I love lion king enough to power through.I know but I just can't cope when Baloo seems to have been pulverised by that evil tiger SheerKhan. I know, I know, sad isn't it?
I read the "just so stories" and " jungle book" loved them but felt cheated by Disneys version. Loved Kim too.

Haven't seen it, haven't read it, no way no how.Betting you have never seen Marley and Me then @Emily_Babbelhund
I couldn't even do some sort of animated dog movie on the plane last year. I don't remember what it's called, but it opens all lovely with a dog getting adopted and all the wonderful things he does with his new human. Then she adopts another dog and boots her first dog out of the bedroom so he's all alone in the living room in the dark. Not exactly Dumbo/Black Beauty/Bambi levels of trauma but that was it for me: turned it off and found some other thing to watch.
And no, I've never seen the Lion King either. It's Disney. I'm sure either the father or mother dies in it (don't tell me). What does Disney have against animal parents?

I'm NOT clicking on that.Come on, have you ever watched Watership Down? Because,you cannot compare the trauma of Bambi’s mother dying (tear-jerking as it was), to... this...
I had to read Watership Down in school and that was bad enough. Thankfully I remember very little of it, but remember enough not to repeat the experience or (worse!) watch it in movie form.
I need to go to my happy place now:

I saw it at the cinema when I was about ten. I seem to remember it was the 'B' film. The trauma remains with me to this day!
Nope can't hack it. I had to watch Blackfish in 3 sittings
If you liked that every read "the plague in dogs" by the same author?Come on, have you ever watched Watership Down? Because,you cannot compare the trauma of Bambi’s mother dying (tear-jerking as it was), to... this...

Got chucked out of the cinema for mucking about during a screening of Watership Down. Aged 12.
Red dog is a good dog film. Red dog dies but saves everyone humanity

Yes, I saw it at the pictures when I was a little girl with my big sister. I cried all the way through it and then laugh all the way through Black beard ghost.

I absolutely love that film! Also have the book by the brilliant Louis de Berniere. He wrote 'Captain Correlie's Mandolin ' as well , one of my favourite books of all time. Don't bother with the film though, it changes the ending, is a travesty and a total let down, completely loses the point of the book, and should never have been made.
Pee Ess I didn't enjoy it!
Just to be clear, I mean the film of Captain Correlie's Mandolin, not the film of Red Dog, which is just wonderful. Sorry, flicking between MLF and various friends on a WhatsApp group and have had my Saturday quota of wine!

Yes, I did, many years ago. That also haunts me. 'Snitter's a good dog!' Also dear Rauf!

I love Watership Down. One of my fave books ever. The Yearling is also one of my favourite books. I loved Warhorse but found it hard to watch. I actually have a tough time with WWI movies in general because of the poor horses...they didn’t volunteer to be there, the poor things 
Anyone see Isle of Dogs? Incredible movie, but definitely NOT a children’s movie.

I'm going to watch The Grinch thisafternoon because It's raining and dark and dismal and I've never seen it. I intend to have everything done that needs doing today by the time it starts and to be in my pyjamas by the Fireinametalbox, snuggled with GGJ. Hope she enjoys it!
